The seventh season of "RuPaul’s Drag Race" officially returns to LOGO Monday, March 2. But before the queens start their engines, they are going cross-country on a fabulous tour of America.

Thankfully for Philadelphia fans of the popular franchise, the queens are bringing their tour right here to the City of Brotherly Love. We had the opportunity to chat with three of next season’s competitors before they come to The Trocadero Theatre on Tuesday, Feb. 24.

Mrs. Kasha Davis grew up in Taylor, Pennsylvania, right outside of Scranton. “Just like all the gay boys in Scranton back in the '70s and '80s, I grew up and got married to a woman. Basically, she was a size 12 and I am more like a 16, so it didn’t work out,” she told me during one of three interviews I had with the Season 7 queens.

The first time you listen to Springtime Carnivore, there’s an almost déjà vu sensation. Yes, there’s the sunny, aged pop that sounds straight from the ‘60s — which is enough to evoke a feeling of nostalgia — but through the haze and sweetness comes a voice that you swear you must’ve heard before.

Because you probably have. Whether you fell into the early-to-mid-2000s wave of poppy alternative or the soaked in the SoCal sun indie of the latter part of the decade, Greta Morgan’s vocals have, at one point or another, come through your headphones.

While her first two musical projects — The Hush Sound and Gold Motel — were full-band affairs, Morgan flies solo for the first time in Springtime Carnivore, self-recording, producing and playing almost all instruments on her self-titled debut.

Featuring the former 76er’s 2002 rant over glossy dance beats, “Practice” is the first single from D.C./Brooklyn label Carpark Record’s 16th anniversary compilation release, with all previously unreleased tracks’ themes centering around basketball. (Seriously. Song titles include “Dylan and Chong Playing Basketball” from Teen and “Space Jam” from Toro Y Moi.)

This could just be Broad Street Run playlist-worthy. We’re talking about practice, man.

Currently overseas for his European tour, Ryan Adams announced an additional tour date to his spring tour, Tuesday, May 12 at The Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Del.

Following a bit of a shocker that Adams won’t be heading to Dover for Firefly, this date, on sale Friday, Feb. 27 at 10 a.m., seemingly makes up for his absence. If you’re itching to jump the gun, presale begins at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 25 using the password PAXAM.

Fresh on the heels of the record-breaking tour announcement bringing Hart to Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, Aug. 30 — a show that will make him the only comedian to headline an NFL stadium — the funnyman spared a few minutes to share his excitement and shed some light on an early-career fowl.

Kendrick Lamar’s highly anticipated forthcoming album is going to scream “Power to the people.”

“We’ve always talked to our people,” Terrance Martin, the man who produced Lamar’s new single, “The Blacker the Berry,” told Billboard. “Now it looks a bit bigger because [Kendrick] has such a bigger platform now.”

While it might not seem like it, festival season is fast approaching. Following the lineup announcements of Coachella, Bonnaroo, Governors Ball and Hangout Fest, Dover, Del.’s Firefly Music Festival has a roster of artists prepped to play The Woodlands of Dover International Raceway for 2015’s festival: Thursday, June 18 through Sunday, June 21.
